Legal Opinion

Arraiol v. Dooley

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided March 5, 1993No. 92-1272Published

1Per curiam

This is an appeal from an order dismissing a case for failure to prosecute timely. We affirm the substance of the order, Toney v. Freeman, 600 So.2d 1099 (Fla.1992), but quash it to cause entry of a proper order dismissing the case “without prejudice.” Although the words “with prejudice” are not much more than surplusage they still have meaning to some. See Tap*945per v. Taunton, 371 So.2d 595 (Fla. 1st DCA 1979).

ORDER QUASHED; REMANDED.

DAUKSCH, PETERSON and DIAMANTES, JJ., concur.
